[Debconf-team] Travel sponsorship
It has been pointed out on IRC that for several years we have intended
to push travel sponsorship processing earlier, and that it is possible
we can actually do this somewhat for DebConf13.
How much money is currently available that could be assigned to travel
sponsorship? (We don't need to have the cash available yet, only to
believe firmly that it will be available by the time of DebConf.)
I saw some suggestion that the amount of travel sponsorship might be
relatively restricted. I think that would be a mistake -- we have a
venue to which many people can travel cheaply, so we should take
advantage of that, to subsidise more of them who need it, who would not
otherwise be able to come. I think it is *far* more important to have
many useful people attend than, for example, to add additional DebCamp
days. [But some "setup days" for genuine DebConf team people would be
higher priority than travel sponsorship, in case that part is unclear.]
